Been to this fella 3 times now, really personable chap, always on time and friendly. I'm no stranger to sports massage and have been to a wide range of specialists over the years during my peak strength training and body building days, physios who were working with Olympic medallists and footballer teams at the high end....suffice to say Sam really knows his stuff, within two sessions he'd found the core of my issue and I felt a sense of relief.

I have seen Sam twice. The second time I contacted him in a lot of pain and he saw me on a Saturday. This was mega. Sam is a big supporter of military and emergency services. Extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to no nonsense treatments that focus on outcome rather than following a textbook script. I have trained for around 25 years, seen countless therapists, and worked in the health and fitness injury at a top level. Sam is a great option, I will 100% see him again and could not recommend him highly enough. Less

My second time with Sam, absolute professional, always considerate of your needs and pain thresholds throughout the massage therapy process. Extremely knowledgable and provides helpful advice for pain management, between sessions. And I am already noticing the difference his skills have provided and reaping the benefits in my gardening job, with improved mobility, and old injuries beginning to fade away. Highly recommend you give it a try, if like me, you get to a point where you have to do something about muscle injury related issues. Less

I would highly recommend Sam. I first saw him with a knee injury in a June 2022, he listened carefully and understood immediately what the issue was and knew how to help. His methods work, my knee is now much stronger and my mobility has greatly improved. I continue to see Sam to help with other age/work related niggles and to keep my knee happy. He has a good sense of humour, is passionate about his work and puts you at ease. I enjoy our chats, he is a very interesting and humble person and deserves every success with his business. Less

I’m so grateful Sam was recommended to me - as well as being a very skilled practitioner he is really keen to help address any issues you may have and the enthusiasm really makes such a difference. He is incredibly kind and attentive and checks in for feedback regularly whilst he is working which really helps get the most out of each session. He listens to any suggestions you may have and is quick to respond, make adjustments or try alternatives. He is always happy to explain anything you don’t understand and share knowledge. He really puts you first and always goes the extra mile and makes you feel welcome and comfortable. All this plus the massage is always top tier and very effective at providing relief and recovery - Very much recommended! Less

I'm 49 years old and have kept fit with running, circuit training and other extreme events and sadly, this is now catching up on me. About 3 years ago, I injured myself during an ultra event with a burst lower disc, torn hip flexor and nerve damage to my lower leg which now causes me discomfort. Sam at Muscle Mechanics Sports Massage was recommended to me and after several visits, I would absolutely recommend. Sam took the time to understand the injuries, told me why I still feel pain and what he intended to do to fix me. He has improved the nerve damage in my lower leg and help to heal and maintain the other injuries and provide regular sports therapy as ongoing maintenance. He has also fitted myself and my wife in for sessions last minute and at unsociable hours when other therapists would be closed which is also very much appreciated. Parking is easy with being able to park right outside his premises. Visit him and get fixed, you won't regret it. He's also a great guy who rides motorbikes.! Less

I went to see Sam on the recommendation of my wife about my repetitive strain injury that I got from work. I've had sports massages before so was a little bit sceptical of it just being "another" sport massage. After my consultation he started using techniques that I'd not had before. I've been pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness it's had on my recovery. After my first session, Sam sent videos to my phone of exercises to do for stretching and strengthening and always follows up the day after treatment to see how I'm feeling. I do feel so much better now and would highly recommend Sam for sports and work related muscle injuries. Less

I started seeing Sam for my tennis elbow in January as I was struggling to work (as a barber) and had stopped weight training due to the pain. Sams treatment provided relief from the pain after the first session and he helped me tailor my training so I could get back to the gym. He's created a professional and relaxing environment for treatments and has an extensive range of training and sports recovery equipment. Most of all Sam takes the time to listen and follows up on your treatment to make sure it's working for you. I wouldn't go anywhere else Less

My son, Lewis - who is recovering from a broken 'tib &fib', mid-shin, football injury - and I, recently had opportunity to visit Sam, at his well-equiped, St Owen's Street facility, in Hereford. Sam took time and care to understand the nature and history of Lewis' injury, together with his post-operative progress. This together with Sam's evident knowledge and expertise, provided great assurance, and helped put us at ease, knowing we were in safe hands. Sam was confidently and quickly able to diagnose and help Lewis understand what issue he was experiencing, and why, while patiently, proceeding to employ a number of techniques throughout the very thorough session, explaining clearly and simply, what he was doing and how it would help. In addition, Sam generously offered self-help techniques and advice, augmented with explanatory messages and personalised video tutorials so that Lewis could extend his therapy at home, in his own time. We would highly recommend Sam's muscle therapy services and would have no hesitation in using his services again. Less

With only a few days at the busy Christmas period notice Sam was able to for me in to treat an incredibly tense neck . The service was incredible professional and friendly in a centrally located treatment centre . Besides a first class massage and manipulation , Sam provided excellent follow up videos . The fee is incredibly reasonable for such a first class service . A massive thumbs up from me ! Jeff Less

First experience of a sports massage but was recommended by a friend to sort a neck problem. 6 sessions in and seeing real progress on the issue. Biggest praise I can give is that during a bad sciatica attack (that usually lasts 6-8 weeks minimum) after 1 targeted session I was back to normal after 10 days. First time during any of my 7 attacks I have recovered that quickly. That alone makes me recommend Sam for any muscle issues. Less

After an active January running a 30 miles for Prostate Cancer combined with intense sessions at the gym, I was suffering with joint and shoulder pain and decided to book a sports massage. I found Sam via google. He took time to understand about the issues and managed to relieve the pain and tension in just two sessions. Sam also showed me techniques to avoid future injury and sent follow up videos as a reminder via WhatsApp. I will definitely continue our sessions to support my training and would highly recommend.

After many years of back pain due to a herniated disc which helped cause further issues such as tight hamstrings, shortened hip flexors, weak glutes and abs, seeing various chiropractors and osteopaths, many years of physio via NHS, nothing was helping. Then after searching the Internet for a cure I found something even better, Sam the Muscle Mechanic. I sent him a long detailed email late at night detailing all my problems and hoping heay be able to help me. The next morning I awoke to a reply to my email and a guarantee that he could help and help me he certainly has! Within a very short period of time with his deep tissue massaging, expert advice, constant encouragement, lending of tools, nutrition advice and support I've lost over 2 stone, I'm able to move around without pain, increased my flexibility and mobility. I feel 10 years younger and it's all down to Sam. Thank you Less

I went to see Sam for a long standing calf/achilles problem that had flared up with increased road running mileage. After discussing the problem, the massage given quickly alleviated the tightness and had me walking pain free. Following the consultation, Sam suggested additional stretches and products to prevent further calf pain, even sending through a video to demostrate how to get them best out of the exercises. Top notch customer service. Less
